"Few ants will hold Office in Texas after
the 4th OF August."-Star News.
The Star-News would sweep out of
the Democratic fold all ants if it had
the power; and it is just about as well
that the Democratic State Convention
is higher authority than the star-News.
The fact that the pros have a good ma
jority of the Democratic party should
not turn the head of any man or pa
per, but doubtless will. Wisdom is
not in power, but in the proper use of
it, This majority is not for Offices
but to secure prohibition. When the
amendment is adopted, and ants fail
TO do their duty, is time enough to
talk about electing prohibition Demo-
Gratis to all the Offices. However, the
HERALD does not anticipate such a
necessity. For Governor, we believe
Ross will be good enough.

The New York Epoch speaks its
mind very freely on all subjects that
it treats. Here is an illustration OF
the vigorous way in which it handles
a topic OF considerable interest at
present;
At this time of the year many
wealthy Americans go to Europe,
where they spend much money. In
September or October they return
with less money, but abundantly pro-
vided with personal apparel, house.
hold Foods, presents for relatives and
friends, etc. 1t is well-known fact
that large proportion OF these pleas
ure.seekers omit to pay duty WI en-
thew come home. Their expeni es
abroad have been exceedingly heavy.
so they think that Uncle Sam can go
without his share. There is no doubt
that the United States treasury is
literally robbed OF millions OF dollars
every wear by these highstones and
luxurious travellers. The man who,
on an order from his wife's cousin,
brings from Paris a diamond worth
$500 without declaring'duty on it is
lust as dishonest as the importer who
smugeles bale Of merchandise. Re-
spectible retail dealers in this country
are continually deprived of their legit'
innate profits because so many things
are brought here by travellers free oil
duty. 1t is not an un-heard-oi-thing
for a custom-house inspector to ac-
cept $40 dollar bill and thereupon
PASS trunks and boxes on which hun
areds and perhaps thousands OF dol
lars OF duty should have been paid.
We are not discussing the merits OF
the demeritsof our complicated sys'
tenn of customs law, but merely advo-
eating the enforcement OF the law with
. nearer approach to impartiality
and honesty than is at present the
] rule.

REGATTA BLACK SILKS

In our last number of the IDLE HOUR
we referred to the great difficulty we, in
common with all other reputable mer-
chants, have had in securing for our GUS
toners a line of Silks that would be all
that they pretended to be and that would
give reasonable satisfaction.
There is no use in denying the fact that
the silk product of the last few years has
been more or less of disappointment to
the ladies'.
1t is not at all hard to tell the reason
why, and maybe the telling will be of in
terest to you
In the first place, silk in its natural state
contains about four ounces of animal gum
to every sixteen ounces. The first process
after the silk is made is to remove this
gum in preparation for dyeing,
1t is not unusual for the twelve onnces
of pure silk to be so adulterated that after
two weeks of manipulation in the dye-tubs
it is returned to the manufacturer weigh
ing sixty ounces or more.
This enormous addition of chemicals,
soap and dye-woods after a short time be-
gin the work of rotting the silk, until in a
short time it actually falls to pieces with
out any wear
We ought to have called your attention
to one make of silks that are freer from
these fatal objections than nearly all others
and from which we have heard the very
best reports from our customers.

student record too, is spoken of as re-
markable one.
THE alumni association of Goddard Sem.
mary numbers between one hundred eighty
and one hundred ninety members. But
twenty-one of these were present at the
business meeting, which was called to order
by Abbie T.. Pope of Mortified, second
vice-president. The reports of secretary
and treasurer were read and adopted, the
latter showing cash balance of SAT Sc in
the treasury. Committees on nominations
and literary exercises for the commence
ment of 1888 were appointed, and during the
retirement of these committees for consulta-
ton another committee, consisting of
Blanche j. Tilden of Barre, Nathan Currier
of Parsonfield Me-, and Mrs. NJ. Il. Blake
of Meredith, n. H., was appointed and in
structed, by vote of the association, to
prepare appropriate resolutions on the death
of Horace HOLSTER of North Montpelier
and have them placed upon the records.
The sum of twenty dollars was appro-
priated for the prize speaking at the nine
teenth annual commencement. These per-
sons were suggested for officers by the COM
mittee appointed to make nominations, and
were formally chosen by the association:
President, j. Harry Holden, 81; first vice.
president, ID. G.. Hawley, 'S7; second vice.
president Florence Powers, 'Si; third vice
president, Stephen A. Foster, 'S3; secretary
and treasurer, Martha Calef, S6; executive
committee, Mrs A. G. Averill, IA, Jennie
Templeton, 'S2, and Wade Reyes, 'S5,
Parts for the next annual meeting of the
alumni were assigned by the literary COM
mittee as follows Grafton, S. A. Foster, 'S3;
substitute, w. II. Vincent, 'S0 essay, Flor
ence E. Powers, "a; substitute, Mary l..
Hollister, 81; song, e. w. Newton, SO;
piano solo, Nettie Gale, 'S7; song, o. X.
HOLSTER, 'S4. Following the announcement
of the above, the alumni adjourned to the
dining-room for the annual banquet.

We refer to the Regatta Silks that
we now keep in fourteen different numbers,
to represent every need of the purchaser
and still give her the full value of her
money with the least possible amount of
adulteration.
No other house in Worcester can place
an order with the manufacturer of the
Regatta Silks, because it is their invari-
able rule to sell to only one house in each
city.
The prices begin with 81 I-2 cents, and
IL I-2 cents up to 81. 50 per yard the most
popular price, however, being SLIP I-2 to
81. 50 per yard.
These silks are warranted by the manu-
facturer against anything a silk may be to
blame for; but of course no silk can be
warranted against palpable carelessness.
Every season during the last five years
our sales of Regatta Silks have decidedly
increased, and we are happy to state also
that the quality and finish have also
kept pace with the increased demand
for them.
We recommend them with great conf
dence and we will with pleasure send you
samples with prices,
These Regatta Blacks are the best eX-
tant. They will not grow rusty or
crack, but will give you good honest
wear for years.
Remember that the 81 Ia cent and 81 90
Regatta Silks are warranted,

Somewhat IrOnical.
New York Sun. linden,

New York sun, Independent Democrat
A slight reflection upon the past life of
President Cleveland will dispose of any feel
ing of surprise that may have been excited
by his order about the captured flags. Why
should he have known of the universal and
deep-seated sentiment that he so outraged?
Up to the time that he became prominent
he was singularly separated from all mat
ters of public and general concern. When
the war broke out he avoided taking part in
it, and by sending a substitute was enabled
to continue in the quiet and secluded sort of
life that he preferred. Few people knew
him, and consequently he knew and sympa-
thized with few people. There is no reason
for supposing that the crisis which con-
vulsed the nation and wrought the popular
mind to unprecedented tension ever added
an extra beat to his pulse. The popular
fears and passions had but very moderate
interest for him, and it was from this OBJ
security and self-solation that by freak of
fortune he was put into politics and rushed
to the White House. Not being originally
inspired with the peculiar national senti-
ment which was born of the war and has
survived it, it is no wonder that he failed
even to be conscious of its existence until
the fact was forced upon him in such an
emphatic manner that, although he did not
share in the feeling, he was compelled to
submit to its dictation. Mr.. Cleveland S
relations to the democracy have been of
much the same nature. Although chosen
as the head of that organization, he had
lived outside of its influence and never took
part in its maintenance or development nor
comprehended its nature, purposes or lmi-
tations. The reason why to the mani
festation of democratic dissatisfaction Mr.
Cleveland has usually turned a deaf and
occasionally an angry ear, while he obeyed
general y-eXpressed wish with marked
alacrity, is doubtless because the democracy
has not spoken with so loud voice.

AS o. II. Blossom and son were passing
through one of his lots, one day last week
their attention was attracted by the cries of
bird which seemed to ask for assistance
The cries were so loud and strong that they
began search for the nest, which they soon
found, with a large spotted adder coled
around 1t and with one of four young birds
partly swallowed. They soon killed the
snake, but the next day the old bird came
to the house in the same great distress,
whereupon young Blossom again went to
the nest, where he found another adder lust
swallowing the last of the four young birds,
and also killed this snake. The two snakes
together measured seven feet in length.

Menagerie Attractions.

Showmen and others that depend on the
menagerie system will be panied to hear of
the death of Henry Reiche, who was so ex-
tensively engaged in the importation of
show animals. He was one of the firm of
Charles Reiche & Co., where l am often at
tracted by the strange and curious array of
birds and animals. The Reiche concern is
the most extensive on the continent, and in
the busy season it is a scene of great activ-
ity, for at such time you may see there all
the leading showmen in the country in
quest of attractions both foreign and do
nestle Some of the quotations may be of
sufficient interest to claim attention. Ele-
plants are priced at from 81, 600 to $4,000, ac-
cording to size and origin. The Indian ele-
plant is more durable than those from other
parts of Asia. This animal is not eXpen-
sive to keep. 1t will eat about $50 worth of
hay (at present prices in month. Camels
are quoted at 5000. They can be kept as
cheaply as cows, which may be an induce

The giraffe is worth $1,000. They are caught
wild in Africa, and the difficulty attending
the hunt explains the high price. Zebras
are worth 81 200, and the gnu is of equal
cost Both of these animals are caught in
their wild state by hunters who make this
a regular pursuit. They are then taken to
adjacent markets and sold to dealers, who
hold them subject to orders from Hamburg,
which is the great center of the trade.
Reche 4 Co. can telegraph an order
through some Hamburg dealer to any part
of the known world and the animals will
be Immediately shipped. One of the most
remarkable instances of this kind was the
purchase of two little hippOpotami, which
were carried over an extensive desert and
